Girl power from Hi-Tec!

Hi-Tec CDT velcro shoe

A new dynamic shoe design for women golfers has been introduced by Hi-Tec, currently being worn by 2004 British Open champion Karen Stupples.

The CDT Power Velcro claims to be the world's first performance shoe for women and follows in the footsteps of the CDT Power shoe worn by Padraig Harrington and which he claims has helped him add 15 yards to his driving.

Together with more stability to aid balance and grip the Power Velcro, incorporates a special membrane, soft leather uppers and custom-fitted foot beds.

The shoes, with a wrap-over velcro tab securing a lace fastening, will be available in white/black/silver and black/silver with a recommended price of £80 (sizes 3-8)

An addition to the range is the CDT Power Saddle (£70), with all the velcro shoe's technology but with a lace-up design and choice of white/currant/silver or white/biscotti/brown.

Banley microflece

Made from a polyester grid fleece, it's available ina choice of two colours - black/lead and lead/black - in sizes S-XXL and is part of the Function3 Dynamics range retaining body heat but wicking away moisture from the body as it maintains shape and style.

Other clothing in the range includes the Tour II rainsuit, Kenzie windproof, Coen turtle neck and the quick-drying, panelled Major polo shirt.
